Belly Band, you are amazing!

There is something about putting a belly band on a card that makes it really beautiful.

 

Here is the card shut...

 

Slide off the belly band...

 

Open the gate...

 

Oooh and aaah at how much fun that was to open!  Repeat as often as you wish :)

I love the patterns and colors of the Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper.  When I showed this card in a card class recently, one woman turned her papers over and used only the smoky slate and coastal cabana sides of the paper, and stamped in smoky slate on coastal cabana- a completely different look with the same layout, and even the same pieces of designer series paper!
